I'm getting a $100 Guitar Center giftcard from my job, and I'm thinking of a new pedal but I can't decide, maybe:

- BBE Sonic Stomp Pedal: supposedly makes your tone super nice.

- MXR ZW-44 Wylde Overdrive pedal: I heard it's good overdrive

- Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff: looks like it trows some good distrotion.

- Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer pedal: I need sustain, because of my
noise reduction pedal

- Maybe a foot Tunner for when i'm at gigs, cuz once happened I was
ready and when we were going to start my guitar went off tune.

- Maybe a Volume pedal for Slow songs, for that violin effect.

- Marshall JH-1 JackHammer Metal X-L Pedal: Heard it sounds like a close To JMC's

I have too many things on my mind but a you can see I'm leanning towards Metal Distortions more, because the Line6 UberMetal I have is too digital, and I'm looking for a more natural sound, So Í'm Leanningi even more for the Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff. Any suggestions or commnents will be useful

get some reverb and a flange and learn surf razz

or just get yourself a real good fuzz box, like a fuzz face or a tube screamer.

I have the US Big Muff, and it is an amazing fuzz pedal. Nothing sounds like -or as good as a big muff.

Have a look at a digitech Tremolo pedal.

You can get some very 'out there' sounds with it. It's a feature in Tom Morello's setup.

But it's one of those pedals that you use to experiment with, if you're looking to improve tone or look for a good distortion, I'd wait 'till getting this little baby.

if you're looking to improve your sustain, you might want to consider the compression pedal, but that's going to affect the dynamic of your playing as well. Another way of improving sustain is to get a good set of pickups to really beef up your guitar. That's something that can really open up the sounds of your guitar.

Well I have active EMG's which are pretty good. but the main thing is that since I'm always playing through a noise suppresor, I takes away some sustain, and i can't turn it off because there's too much noise coming from the amp, being a Half-stack. So I think im going to get the Metal Muff and a Maybe MXR's Dyna Comp, or Super Comp. Because lately I'm into Clapton a lot, and my sound is not bluessy enough.

try turning down your noise gate a little, so it releases sooner, and shuts later
